Today Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, confirmed that 100% of the established 501(c)(4) groups the IRS selected for audit were conservative. But Obama says their was not a smidgen of corruption in the IRS. The Wall Street Journal reported:

A Republican House committee chairman said the Internal Revenue Service targeted tax-exempt conservative groups for audits, widening the scope of GOP ire over the agencys oversight of political activities.

House Democrats pushed back, saying Republicans were seeking to use the IRS controversy to score political points with their conservative base in an election year.

The IRS has been under scrutiny since an inspector generals report last May found that the agency had targeted conservative groups for lengthy and heavy-handed review of their applications to become tax-exempt organizations under section 501(c) 4 of the tax code. The controversy led to significant management shakeups at the IRS and generated a slew of congressional investigations, some of which are still going on.

On Tuesday, House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R., Mich.) said his committees continuing investigation has found that the IRS also singled out established conservative tax-exempt groups for audits.

The commies are using the courts and the bureaucracy to target their enemies. The template is identify the target, launch the investigation, SWAT raid or other intimidation, then secret juries, jury intimidation and conviction.
The process will become too convoluted and they will just launch drone strikes.
I think we should go underground.

Camp too eh. Great. Now I see the plan, Boehner now has a clean slate to bring these investigations to fruition by a select committee to move toward impeachment. I won’t even need a countdown clock, this will start immediately I guess, in geological time I bet.

..... To be honest .... I believe the President's statement on this was absolutely correct!!! There absolutely wasn't a smidgeon of truth to those allegations ..... there was a Grand Canyon full of truth to those allegations!! ..... See .... ya just gotta understand the nuances of Obamaspeak!

We all know nothing will come of this as we have seen it before over, and over again, so WE have to make certain to email the link to the story to everybody we know who cares about this country to make them aware as we are.

I will tell you what I recommend...WIN ELECTIONS.
Until we stop blowing reliable red states like Indiana & Missouri, and purple states like Colorado & Nevada, and blue states where a bad candidate (O’Donnell) was nominated resulting in loss of a sure RINO winner, get used to Democrat regimes.

Why has there been no class action lawsuit, and injunctive relief? It seems to me you should be able to put enough information before a court to find that this is a civil rights violation, and is preventing people from being allowed to participate in politics. They were all up in arms over poll taxes and literacy tests, but then, here is the government persecuting citizens seeking to have a say in their own affairs, and the government comes down on them with its jack boots. The IRS needs to be enjoined from any more attacks on conservative groups until it can show grounds apart from political beliefs why the group became subject to review.

Remember the rulings that said that if one minority is impacted more than another, it is signs of racial discrimination? 100 percent is a pretty good indicator of discrimination. Or, don't conservatives have rights?
